Advice I should follow

Hi Bros. This is just some stuff I’ve been thinking lately, phrased vaguely!

Advice 1: When you spend your life nowhere and finally end up somewhere, you expect to be heard. But it takes patience for your voice to register. People aren’t used to hearing a new sound. You can’t force them to hear you. You won’t always be somewhere where they can listen. Keep trying to get there, and don’t give up when it seems like you’re talking to nobody. When you are meant to be heard, you will be.

Advice 2: Patience directly contradicts addiction. We take breaks between substances because we want to enhance their effects when we reindulge in them. We don’t want to jade the things that bring us joy by overconsuming. If only patience was addicting–Addiction wouldn’t be! Yet patience is the opposite. Patience is boring. It doesn’t bring us joy, but the fruits of our patience will. It takes time for flowers to blossom, for fruits to grow. Practice being patient, and remind yourself that it will be worth it.
